Re: Omnia Gets REALLY Hot

I remember some one saying they though the original Ram was detuned and the leaked rom takes full advantage of the Omnias chipset so it makes sense that it would get hotter. I'm not sure anyone can/has been able to prove this though. It's odd that you were smelling plastic. I know that charging the Omina heats it up pretty good. Anything that uses the radio, ie lots of data, wifi, etc. Plugged into the USB it was probably trying to charge and we know that the USB can't provide the current to charge so maybe it was a combination of things? I've had 2 omnias since Feb and neither got too hot to hold in my hand.....maybe I'm just super human though, I've been suspecting that for a while.
